Granted
The Board granted recognition of M. as the Veteran's spouse for purposes of additional dependency compensation based on sufficient evidence within a year of the April 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's statement and Social Security Administration records provided enough evidence to link the information from 2014 to the present, despite the delay in submission.
